Pinterest backgrounds

Posted on May 12, 2012 by admin

Pinterest and Minetoo are the perfect alliance. We not only have a library of images ready to pin but we’re also perfect for taking Pinterest to the next level. Sooner or later you’ll want to make your own pins and we’re here to help you do just that. Quickly and easily.

Below you’ll find some of the newest background images to be added to the Minetoo Picture Library. Notice they are in portrait format and the sizes vary slightly too. This will help stop your Pinterest boards getting too visually uniform.
They are deliberately de-focussed too. As backgrounds you’ll want your message to stand out and a slightly blurry background will help your text look punchier when you put it on top. They’re great for making quote pins. Try one now. Go to the Minetoo Picture library and do a search for ‘background’ or ‘portrait format.’

Image Buffer – using blend modes

Posted on September 15, 2011 by admin

This is about using blend modes – one of the aspects of Image Buffer which will help your images look cool and professional.

If you’re new to blend modes you’ll have fun playing around, seeing what comes up. Blending is basically about blending two layers. In Minetoo’s case

that will usually mean blending an image with text ( either your message and or a quote) . The Blend modes will either lighten or darken the text in relation to the underlying layer or mess around with it in ways to do with colour.

For the more technically minded, here’s what’s going on.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AfterEffects/9.0/WSFB0FE760-71F3-4616-AE88-275D718E7125a.html

For a rough guide ( very rough).

Lightening options include – add and screen.

darkening options include – multiply, subtract and, er, darken.

Other options like overlay, hardlight, difference and invert have a more complex effects and ccan be very striking.

Have fun.
